Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a device (10) for generating a modulation of an optical signal characterised in that the device (10) comprises: - a first ring resonator modulator (12A) including a first waveguide (14A), a first ring waveguide (16A) being optically coupled to the first waveguide (14A), and a first control device (18A), and - a second ring resonator modulator (12B) including a second waveguide (14B), a second ring waveguide (16B) being optically coupled to the second waveguide (14B) and being independent of the first ring (16A), and a second control device (18B), the device (10) having at least one characteristic that influences the chirp introduced by the device (10), the characteristics of the device (10) being selected in a manner so as to minimise the absolute value of the chirp introduced by the device (10).
